Strata Cloud Manager (SCM)offers acloud-based unified managementplane for both NGFWs and Prisma Access, enabling consistent policy enforcement, simplified management, and AI-driven operational insights.
"Strata Cloud Manager provides a single interface for unified management of NGFWs and Prisma Access, leveraging AI to optimize security operations and streamline workflows." (Source: Strata Cloud Manager Overview) Unlike Panorama, which is an on-premises management solution, SCM delivers cloud-based, AI-driven capabilities for centralized oversight.

Voice quality issues in SD-WAN deployments are typically linked to path performance metrics (latency, jitter, packet loss). Reviewingreal-time analyticshelps pinpoint root causes and appropriate mitigation.
"When experiencing performance issues, the first step is to analyze real-time performance data. Prisma SD- WAN provides path quality analytics to identify degradation and ensure informed troubleshooting." (Source: Prisma SD-WAN Monitoring) This data-driven approach avoids unnecessary configuration changes.

Threat logs for Prisma Access mobile users can be reviewed in bothStrata Cloud Manager (SCM)andStrata Logging Service. Prisma Cloud and service connection firewalls are not directly tied to mobile user traffic logs.
"Prisma Access logs are available in the Strata Cloud Manager and can also be sent to the Strata Logging Service for detailed analysis and threat visibility." (Source: Prisma Access Administration Guide)

Protecting againstmaliciousandmisconfigured domainsrequires two critical services:
Advanced Threat Prevention
Provides signature-based and advanced analysis to identify threats, including DNS-based attacks.
"Advanced Threat Prevention enables the NGFW to detect and prevent exploits and malware-based communications, including those leveraging DNS." (Source: Advanced Threat Prevention) Advanced DNS Security Specifically designed to detect and sinkhole malicious and misconfigured DNS queries.
"DNS Security uses real-time intelligence to block DNS-based threats, protect against data exfiltration, and automatically sinkhole suspicious domain lookups." (Source: DNS Security) Bycombiningthese services in security policies, NGFWs ensure robust protection against domain-based threats and misconfigurations.

Host Information Profile (HIP) checksare used in GlobalProtect to collect and evaluate endpoint posture (OS, patch level, AV status) to enforce granular security policies for remote users.
"The HIP feature collects information about the host and can be used in security policies to enforce posture- based access control. This ensures only compliant endpoints can access sensitive resources." (Source: GlobalProtect HIP Checks) This enables fine-grained, context-aware access decisions beyond user identity alone.
